Side vent window motors.
General comments?
I bought the Odyssey van based on its comfort and the reputation that Honda had for being a reliable vehicle.
I still like the comfort and design of the van, but will never purchase another Honda. What was sold as a vehicle that only requires gas and oil changes, has been the most repaired and disappointing thing I've ever owned.
All the repairs so far have been covered by the extended warranty I purchased, but the fact is the van continues to be in for repairs more than I expect from Honda; none of my American made cars ever had so many problems.
Honda built their reputation on the Accord, and failed to carry over the high quality into the Odyssey. I'll just have to wait for the 2008 Hyundai Entourage to be released.
